A Message from Frankfort CUSD #168. We will have regular dismissal and buses will run on their regular schedule today, Wednesday, May 8, 2024. If weather conditions warrant at that time, we will hold buses longer and will send a message letting everyone know that at that time.
In the meantime, due to the weather forecast, all after-school sports practices have been cancelled at all grade levels.
In addition, the after-school SOAR for all grade levels has been cancelled for today. Finally, our after-school Redbird Roost Program for which parents pick up their students WILL be in session at FIS. We will have those students until you arrange to pick them up.
